The Art of Driving tour takes place May 22-23 at Indianapolis Raceway Park. The Art of Driving tour offers courses in a few of the finer things beyond automobiles. The Indianapolis stop features Food & Wine magazine's Kevin Patricio to demonstrate gourmet cooking, give tips on wine pairings and offer samplings of food and wine. Guests can also experience the "art" of authentic cigar rolling and a proper golf swing. There are three driving courses in which members of the public can try out the Chrysler 300 with a Hemi, the PT Cruiser convertible and the Crossfire Roadster, not to mention the dozens of competitive cars from Cadillac, Volkswagen, Toyota and BMW - and it's a free event.
Hours are 9 a.m.-7 p.m. on Saturday and, 9 a.m.-6 p.m. on Sunday. Drivers must be 18 years or older with a valid driver's license to participate in the ride-and-drive activities.
